Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius has said his teammates "didn't have enough ideas" in their FA Cup stalemate draw with Plymouth at Anfield.

The German, who was returning to the side after losing his spot to Simon Mignolet , was largely a spectator as he watched the League Two side put on a remarkable defensive display to frustrate the Premier League title challengers.

And the 23-year-old urged his side to make their superiority count and "get some goals" ahead of Wednesday night's replay at Home Park.

“We didn’t create that many chances – we weren’t that creative in and around the box,” the goalkeeper told Liverpoolfc.com . “That’s something we can improve for the next game.

“They defended really well, of course. We didn’t have that many different ideas to get through their defence, but what they did they were doing well.

“I didn’t see them as much in my half – they focused on defending and dealt (with us) really well. They will hope for a crazy game at their ground but we have to be there from the first minute and play our game to go to the next round.

“It depends on us. They will try to stay compact and get one or two counter-attacks. We just need to get some goals. We have to go through clearly – that’s our aim.”

Mignolet returned between the sticks for Liverpool's visit to Old Trafford on Sunday but Karius is expected to start again in the FA Cup after also playing in the League Cup semi-final first leg defeat by Southampton.

That was Liverpool's last visit to the south coast, and Jurgen Klopp will be hoping for a more successful outing against Argyle.
